Connecting Line Card Network Interface Cables

This section describes how to route the network interface cables through the router cable-management
system and attach the network interface cables to the line card ports.
This procedure uses an 40x1GE line card as an example to describe how to attach a network interface
cable to a line card port and route the cable through the cable-management system. Depending on which
line cards are installed in your system, your cable connection procedure might differ slightly from this
example. For cable connection information for your specific line card, refer to the installation and
configuration note for that line card.
